A lake on the edge of Ho Chi Minh City framed by trees, shot on film

About

I've spent the last several years shooting between Chicago and Ho Chi Minh City. Different industries, different budgets, different languages on set.

Outside of work I'm a father of two daughters. I shoot film for fun, including every photo on this site, and I play tennis with my wife and friends whenever I can.
